When Qin Yufei came over, only Qin Xiu and Grandma Qiao were drinking tea and basking in the sun in the yard.
Su Keke, Yingying and Tangyuan slept together last night and haven't woken up yet.
"Sister! How come you have time to come here? Don't you need to stay at home to serve my able-bodied brother-in-law?"
When Qin Xiu saw Qin Yufei, he was still angry from the morning and spoke in a rather unpleasant way.
"Grandma Qiao, please judge for me. Yingying's father finally came back. What's wrong with me being nice to him? Both the big and the small are angry with me!"
Qin Yufei handed the dumplings in her hand to Grandma Qiao and glared at her brother who spoke in a sarcastic tone.
Grandma Qiao only heard from Qin Xiu this morning that Qin Yufei's husband had returned.
Early this morning, Qin Xiu came to pick up Yingying. It seemed that he hadn't had breakfast yet. Grandma Qiao felt something was wrong.
So she called Qin Xiu to have breakfast together. As they ate and chatted, Grandma Qiao figured out the point of the conflict between the siblings.
It turned out that Yingying's father, who had been missing for a long time, appeared inexplicably yesterday.
Moreover, Yingying's father had been unreliable many times in the past. Qin Xiu was angry that his sister was too love-brained, and he was having a lot of fun digging wild vegetables by himself.
Grandma Qiao, who roughly knew the whole story, smiled at Qin Yufei who was complaining, and pulled her to sit down and chat.
"Qin Xiu, don't be angry with your sister. After all, that man is Yingying's father. Give him another chance. Maybe he will really change after experiencing the natural disaster."
"And Yufei, you shouldn't spoil him too much. Let Yingying's dad do more housework and the vegetables in the yard. It's not a good thing for a grown man to lie at home all the time, don't you think?"
"Both of you should take a step back and try to do as I say. Sis and brother should stop being angry with each other. It's not worth getting angry over such a small matter!"
"Come on! Have some tea! My Pu'er tea is really good, please don't waste it."
After Grandma Qiao's mediation, Qin Xiu and Qin Yufei, the brother and sister, found a way out and reconciled immediately.
"It still has to be my Grandma Qiao!" Su Keke suddenly said something that startled the three people present.
"Keke! Are you awake? What about Yingying? Is she up?" Qin Yufei, who was closest to Su Keke, asked with a smile.
Su Keke raised her arm that had been pressed by Yingying all night, and pointed to the bathroom on the first floor, "She's washing up in the bathroom! Yingying said she usually washes her face and brushes her teeth by herself, so I moved a small stool for her, and she's washing happily there!"
"This child knows how to wash, but she plays with water while washing. No! I have to go check on her."
You are a real mother. I am afraid that my child will play in the bathroom and lose her mind. She will get wet and I will have to change her clothes.
"Keke, your sister Qin made some dumplings this morning. I'll go heat them up for you. You and Yingying can have them for breakfast. Qin Xiu can also have some later. Your sister brought them here specially."
Grandma Qiao took the dumplings to the kitchen to heat them up, and Qin Yufei went to the bathroom to find Yingying. Only Qin Xiu and Su Keke were left in the yard.
"You came to pick up Yingying so early today. Didn't you write your novel last night? Qin Xiu, I'm telling you, even if I'm the only reader now, you can't be passive and lazy!"
Su Keke sat down and joked with Qin Xiu.
Ever since she knew that Qin Xiu was the famous online suspense writer "Yizuifangxiu", Su Keke often came to his house to urge him to update his works.
As a veteran fan of suspense novels, Su Keke read all of Qin Xiu's publicly published novels without missing a single one.
Later, I finally heard Qin Yufei say that his brother had recently started writing a new book.
So, every time Su Keke sees Qin Xiu, she has to ask about the progress of the new book and when she can read it.
"Writing! Writing!" Qin Xiu drank a cup of tea, quickly pulled Su Keke into the house, and said that he wanted to eat the dumplings made by her sister.
"Hey! Why are you in such a hurry? Aren't we talking about novels? Can you tell me the story first?"
"Let's have breakfast and stop talking about novels!"
Qin Xiu and Su Keke have become almost buddies now. The most disappointed one is Qin Yufei. She ran to the kitchen and whispered to Grandma Qiao, "Why don't these two kids have the talent for love?"
"A handsome man and a beautiful woman. If nothing else, I think they are a perfect match just by standing together. Why can't they wake up?"
"Don't worry! Our Keke is still young! In a few years, she will figure it out herself and she will probably get it." Grandma Qiao said with a smile.
The dumplings were still steaming from the pot. Grandma Qiao put them on a large plate and brought them to the dining table for everyone to eat together.
Over there, Su Keke and Qin Xiu had already prepared soy sauce and vinegar and were waiting. Yingying was also sitting on a chair holding the glutinous rice balls, waiting for Grandma Qiao to serve the dumplings.
"Alas! Grandma Qiao, you are not in a hurry, but I am! My Qin Xiu is not young anymore. He will be 30 in another year! The ancients said that a man should be established at the age of 30. Doesn't that mean he should have a family and a career? Oh my! My unfortunate parents passed away so early, leaving behind such an unemotional brother. I am so worried!"
Qin Yufei pulled Grandma Qiao to recite the poem while glaring at her brother who looked fine.
She secretly asked Qin Xiu when Su Keke wasn't paying attention, "What do you think of Keke? Do you have feelings for her?"
"What do you mean? It's fine!" Qin Xiu seemed not to understand what his sister meant. He just said "it's fine" and dismissed Qin Yufei.
"Yufei, let the young people get along with each other slowly. There is no point in us worrying about it!"
Grandma Qiao pulled Qin Yufei and quickly changed the subject, "You made these dumplings really well, with thin skin and big fillings. They taste better than those sold in other stores!"
"Ah? Is it really... really that delicious?"
Qin Yufei suddenly came to her senses, looked at Grandma Qiao with a little disbelief, and then picked one up and started eating.
I don’t know if it’s because of Grandma Qiao’s praise just now, but Qin Yufei really thinks these dumplings are better than what she eats at home.
…
After eating dumplings, Qin Xiu and his family went back home.
"Sister! You didn't walk here, did you? Don't we have a bicycle at home?"
Qin Xiu was driving and saw someone walking on the side of the road. Suddenly she remembered how her sister got here.
"Of course I came here by bike! How could I, your sister, let myself be troubled?"
Qin Yufei, sitting in the back seat, looked at the people walking and thought of Anna who had borrowed her car. She wondered if she had found her husband. The child looked even younger than Yingying, so pitiful.
"Where's your bicycle? I didn't see it at the door of Keke's house. Could it have been stolen?"
Qin Xiu looked at the military tents on the other side. There were so many complete strangers living there, it was really possible that they might be robbed.
"No! I lent my car to someone else! It was to a mother who lived in a tent across from us. She looked quite pitiful. She was holding a child who was younger than Yingying and said she was going to the gate of the villa area to find the child's father!"
"Oh! I guess this car is going to be lost again!" Qin Xiu sighed. His sister really didn't know the suffering of the end of the world. She borrowed everything from others.
